Respuesta :

Answer: Hypovolemic

Explanation:

This is an emergency condition in which the patient has lost great amounts of blood or fluid and it's now experiencing volume depletion.

The patient's heart is unable to pump enough blood to compensate for the loss. The skin becomes pale, the heart rate greatly increases and it could end in critical failure of several organs.

If a person loses about a fifth of the regular amount of blood, the body will enter into hypovolemic shock.
